Can members in business rule prompts be sorted

Hi,
we have business rules with prompts in accounts as Level 0 of a parent. the users are complaining that these leaf level members in the prompts selection window are not sorted. Is there a way we can display the selection list in prompts alphabetically?
thanks

Hello,
the users see the alias or ID?
When it is the ID, then I can agree what Sree said. If it is the alias, you have a bigger challenge. Sorting the children on Alias.
I would recommend to use a relational table for creating the dimension files in EPMA or OutlineLoad.

EPMA Batch Client - Can I launch business rules created in Calc Manager?

I'm currently on a project where we have implemented an EPMA Planning app (v 11.1.1.2), and we need to schedule business rules to run in batch. In the past, I used the command line launcher to perform this task. Unfortunately, the command line launcher is really a part of EAS, so it would appear that I cannot use this method to launch a rule created in Calc Manager. Is this correct?
It looks like my other option is to use the EPMA Batch Client. In looking at the "Execute" command in the documentation, it doesn't reference the ability to run a business rule. The docs are fairly limited, so I'm wondering if I really CAN launch a business rule from here.
Has anyone scheduled a business rule (created in Calc Manager) to run in batch? If so, what method did you use? If all else fails, I can create a calc script and run it from MaxL, but I'd rather not have multiple versions of the code floating around.
Thanks!
- Jake

Hi Jake,
One of the known issues in 11.1.1.3 is :-
You cannot launch a business ruleset with runtime prompts from the Planning command line launch (7205464).
Whether this means you can't run calc manager BR's from command line I am not sure.
There is no documentation in this area so I assume it can't be done yet.
Cheers

Hi, tony.lee,
you can set the business rule on the forms which you want in these steps:
administration--manage data forms selected form edit--business rule option--add the business rule you want to launch .

Interactive Users Can't See Business Rules

We have business rules for interactive users in planning. We had to do a refresh on the planning application to includesome members into the planning outline (members added usingHAL). After that the interactive users can't see the business ruleswhich they could see earlier to the refresh. Can some one help me on this please. This is a criticalissue. 

Issue resolved.... The issue was using the wrong password toenable HBR while regenerating the HSPJSHome.Properties file.

Can not run business rule with bat file

Hi all,
I've problem with using *.bat file to run business rule. My Essbase version is 11.1.1.3 and the syntax within
*.bat is simple, but I always got the Usage message and can not execute the rule.
The error result as blow(I already execute the syntax in command panel directly):
C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eas\console\bin>CmdLnLauncher -SWILSON -Usynadmin -P111111 -r0004_COPYDATA
Usage: CmdLineLauncher [-p:<passwordFile>] -Sservername -Uusername [-rBusiness R
ule Name | -sSequence Name] [-fRun Time Prompts file] [-validate]
My *.bat file content as below:
cd c:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eas\console\bin
call CmdLnLauncher -SWILSON -Usynadmin -P1111111 -r0004_COPYDATA
Is there something wrong? If anyone know about this problem, please help,thanks!!

Hi,
Here is a brief overview on how to use the command line launcher.
You can create a file and put the following information into it filling in the servername,app name and db name
ExecDB::"Planning/servername/appname/dbname"
Save it as .xml file (don’t think it has to be an xml, could be .txt), so something like connect.xml
Then when you run your command line do exactly like before Cmdlnlauncher -Sservername -Uusername -p:password.txt -rrule -fconnect.xml
If you have variables in your rule you can
In EAS right click over the rule and select "Automate Launch Variables", fill in the details and then save it is as an xml.
You just need to reference the xml in the batch script as described above using the -f parameter, for sequences remove -rrule and use –sSequence
update password.txt to the name of your password file.
Cheers

Pass business rule prompt to email

Hi,
My requirement is to send email to different users depending on the selection of runtime prompts in a business rule. First i registered essbase cdf posted in one of the other threads to send emails. It is working fine from calc script.
However when I pasted the same thing inside a BR in Calc Manager the BR doesnt validate. So I am stuck up again.
I need a business rule as I also need to pass prompt selected by the user in the subject of the email.
The calc script I am using :
RUNJAVA com.oracle.essbase.cdf.SetEmailProp "target:target1" "subject:Approval" "css:C:/target1.css";
RUNJAVA com.oracle.essbase.cdf.SetEmailProp "target:all" "title:<center>% Approval</center>" "header:Approval" ;
FIX ("Version",Project,CostCenter,YearTotal,Allocation)
BUDGET (
@JaddToAlert("target1",@LIST(@NAME(Official),@name(Acc)),Acc->FullYear);
ENDFIX;
RUNJAVA com.oracle.essbase.cdf.SendMail target:target1 "server:smtp_ip" "from:[email protected]" "to:[email protected]";
When pasted in BR it says "target1" is not a UDA or attribute member ...
Any leads appreciated.
Thanks,
Neetesh

How about posting your business rule(if any different from above)? Maybe someone can spot an error.
Also: Sometimes these will run correctly even though they don't validate. Have you tried using the BR in its unvalidated state? Try that and see what happens.

Can't launch Business rules from Smartview

Hi,
I am trying to lauch a business rules from smartview, but the "calculation option"/ "business rules" menu is unavailable in Excel.
This business rules is available in the Web HBR launcher.
How could I get access to business rules in Excel please ?
Regards

In Excel, you can't launch a Business rule in a free form, you have to use a form from Hyperion Planning for example.
It would have been nice to be able to launch a BR in Smartview, as in the web launcher.

Can I ReUse business rule with JHeadStart ?

Hi All,
I am looking for tools and methods for our development team to achieve this goal. The keyword is Re-Use as far as we can, in all application layer.
We will have core application, and for any new customer we will only develope the things that specific to that customer and Re-use the core application.
Will JHeadStart help us to achieve that goal ?
Could anybody pls help me with the scenario for maximum reUse ?
Thank you for your help,
Krist

Krist,
JHeadstart does not 'help' much with your business rule implementation, but it also does not prevent it (I'll get to the bugs you mentioned later). ADF BC is an excellent framework for implementing your business rules, and if you implement these rules on Entity Objects (instead of View Objects) as much as you can, they are highly reusable. Have a look at this paper, which is from the 'before ADF' era but will still contain lots of information on how to implement various types of Business Rules in ADF BC:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/bc4j/BusinessRulesInBc4j.pdf
The JHeadstart bugs you mention should not hinder you (much). The first should not reproduce in the latest patch version; you can create your own application module subclass as long as it (directly or indirectly) extends the JHeadstart one.
The bug with respect to View Object extending does not mean the Java class extending of the View Object classes, but rather the situation where one View Object 'inherits' the attribute definitions of another View Object. I would not advice using this type of 'definition inheritance', and furthermore implementing business rules on View Objects should be avoided as much as possible if re-use is your goal; the Entity Objects underneath the View Objects are a much better location.
The bug with imported Entity Object is more a restriction in how you organise your sources in JDeveloper (i.e. spreading your Business Components across multiple projects) than it is a limitation on reusing business logic.
Kind regards,

Where can i find Business rules console in oracle SOA11G?

Hi All,
I am using the business rule component in the SOA 11G.
After deploying my BPEL process i want to edit the values of rule set at run time. i am not able to find any console for business rules like in 10G.
please let me know
Thanks&Regards,
Sudhakar

Sudhakar,
There is no UI provided for rules modification in SOA 11gR1 (11.1.1.1.0). User has to create their own UI by implementing the exposed APIs.
However its available as part of 11gR1 Patchset1 (11.1.1.2.0)
URL would be http://host:soa_port/soa/composer

Can I pass the selected member at page dimension to form business rule?

I have a business rule which will be executed when the form get loaded, the business rule is very complex, so I want to narrow down the calculation by passing the selected member at page dimension to the business rule.
For example, I have year as page dimension, and I only want to calculate the selected year at one time? How can I do it?
I know runtime prompt, but I don't think it's a good way, since you need to select again.
Thanks
Tony

You can use a variable and a run time prompt.
You can set the business rule options in planning to "Use Members on Form" and "Hide Run time prompt"
This way the page/pov member will be passed into the business and into the variable.
Cheers

Business Rules in Planning 11.1.2.1

Hi,
I'm having a strange problem in Planning 11.1.2.1 dataforms. I added a business rule and selected Run on Save, Use members in dataform and Hide Prompt in a dataform. However when I press the save button, the Business Rule prompt appears, and the values of the prompt parameters are not filled with the current page selection (the specific business rule has 2 run-time prompt variables), while I was expecting it to simply start running without showing the prompt and ask the members to the user.
Anyone knows what could be the problem?
Thank you

Its worth having a look at below link:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin/ch06s09s04.html
Make sure that RTPs which you have created in EAS are of type Member not Members.
Cheers..!!!

Business rule for Essbase cube calculations in 11.1.1.3?

Hi,
Can we use business rules to use @XREF from data transfer from one cube to other cube.Why I went for business rule is, I can put set of business rules in a Sequence and any new user can run this Sequence on demand and even we need prompt also in that.
So, I want to clarify whether I can use the business rules for Essbase calculations along with calc scripts??
Appreciate the response.
Thanks

Right,
Actually, Business rules are running essbase cubes in every case.
Remember planning and BRs are adding extra layers like prompts, forms, security, processes...
Think Business rules are extended version of calc scripts with some more functionality. They are ultimately running on essbase cubes...

Ahmet

Editing Business Rules

Hi All,
I am using Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.1.0 and have a classic planning application.
I created a few business rules using the Essbase Administrative Services Console.
Now I need to let one of the users modify certain values used in the buisness rule. One way is to allow the user to access EAS Console and then edit the rule.
However for a business user its not a very ideal way of editing the rules.
Can somebody please suggest if at all there is some other way by which the user can modify the business rule without getting into much of a coding thing and out of EAS Console?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards.
Alicia

Hi,
If you are using classic planning and in the first release of planning the only way to edit business rules is via EAS.
I wouldn't really expect standard business users to be editing business rules, maybe the occasional user who has knowledge of business rules.
Does the user really need to update code? Are run time prompts not enough. Should it not be a superuser or admin making these changes.
In later versions of V11 there is also calc manager for classic planning though I am not a fan of this yet and feel it has a long way to go.
Cheers

John, Thanks for the response.
The user has all provisions in SS for Essbase and Applications (Server Access as well as Application Administrator). I can explore all the Essbase applications in EAS.
I have double checked all the provisions and refershed security in EAS. I am still getting the same error.
Here are a few more interesting things that I have noticed from debugging. The only account with the ability to create "New Locations" or Associate a Business Rule with an Essbase Application is "admin". If I deprovision "admin" in SS, I can no longer create New Locations. If I add the provisions back for "admin" then I can create New Locations. So, that tells me that BR is looking at SS for provisioning of "admin".
Here is another interesting message in hbrserver.log.

I get the above message when I 'Right Mouse' on Administration under Business Rules and select "Refresh User List".
Any additional thoughts?
